Hola, Hey you developers, when it comes to example code, do you prefer large examples such as Draw or small examples, and why? Do you have a preference? __jayson :-) NeXT Developer Support Team Jayson_Adams@next.com

Do you have a >preference? Actually I like both: The small ones are nice to illustrate some special features or special tricks. Things are easier to find in small examples. On the other hand examples like Draw show a lot more about program structure and UI-design (e.g. how to register a window such that it accepts an icon as a document. However it is much more difficult to find what is really essential to a specific technique and what is only there for cosmetic or other reasons. Ronald P.S.
